◆ module_list_cap()

size_t module_list_cap ( module_t *const **  tab,
const char *  name 
)

Lists of all VLC modules with a given capability.

This functions returns a table of all VLC modules whose capability matches the supplied capability name. Entries are sorted by decreasing module score.

Note
This function cannot fail. It returns zero if, and only if, no modules match the requested capability inside the module bank.
Parameters
tabpointer to the table of modules [OUT]
namecapability nul-terminated string (cannot be NULL)
Returns
the number of entries in the table

◆ module_LoadPlugins()

void module_LoadPlugins ( libvlc_int_t obj)

Loads module descriptions for all available plugins.

Fills the module bank structure with the plugin modules.

Parameters
objvlc object structure

◆ vlc_dlclose()

int vlc_dlclose ( void *  handle)

Unloads a dynamic library.

This function unloads a previously opened dynamically linked library using a system dependent method.

Parameters
handlehandle of the library
Return values
0on success
-1on error (none are defined though)

◆ vlc_dlerror()

char * vlc_dlerror ( void  )

Formats an error message for vlc_dlopen() or vlc_dlsym().

Returns
a heap-allocated nul-terminated error string, or NULL.

◆ vlc_dlopen()

void * vlc_dlopen ( const char *  path,
bool  lazy 
)

Loads a dynamically linked library.

Parameters
pathlibrary file path
lazywhether to resolve the symbols lazily
Returns
a module handle on success, or NULL on error.

◆ vlc_dlsym()

void * vlc_dlsym ( void *  handle,
const char *  name 
)

Looks up a symbol from a dynamically loaded library.

This function looks for a named symbol within a loaded library.

Parameters
handlehandle to the library
namefunction name
Returns
the address of the symbol on success, or NULL on error
Note
If the symbol address is NULL, errors cannot be detected. However, normal symbols such as function or global variables cannot have NULL as their address.
